Kenny Kirkland Diminished Lick - Jazz Piano Lesson
Kenny Kirkland was an outstanding jazz pianist who was really coming into his own during the mid 1990s, unfortunately, he died prematurely of congestive heart failure at age 43.
There was a HIP diminished lick that Kenny would often play over altered dominant cords. Below are a couple of videos of Kenny using this hip diminished lick. Following the videos of Kenny below is my video teaching you how to play this lick. Enjoy!
YES OR NO Lick can be heard here: 4:20-4:22
